Earnings Per Share

10. Earnings Per Share

The following table sets forth basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding used to compute earnings per share:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2018		2017		2016
	(In thousands)
Basic weighted average shares outstanding		36,958		36,864		36,844
Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock		897		1,174		894
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding		37,855		38,038		37,738

Stock options and restricted stock totaling 83,718 shares, 31,766 shares and 84,052 shares for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive. The computation of diluted shares can vary among periods due, in part, to the change in the average price of the Company’s common stock.
